off the engine and clean the throttle body as follows:
(a) Remove the throttle body from engine.
WARNING: CLEAN THROTTLE BODY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. WEAR RUBBER OR BUTYL
GLOVES, DO NOT LET MOPAR PARTS CLEANER
COME IN CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. AVOID
INGESTING THE CLEANER. WASH THOROUGHLY
AFTER USING CLEANER.
(b) While holding the throttle open, spray the
entire throttle body bore and the manifold side of
the throttle plate with Mopar Parts Cleaner.Only
use Mopar Parts Cleaner to clean the throttle
body.
(c) Using a soft scuff pad, clean the top and bot-
tom of throttle body bore and the edges and mani-
fold side of the throttle blade.The edges of the
throttle blade and portions of the throttle
bore that are closest to the throttle blade
when closed, must be free of deposits.
(d) Use compressed air to dry the throttle body.
(e) Inspect throttle body for foreign material.
(f) Install throttle body on manifold.
(g) Repeat steps 1 through 12. If the minimum
air flow is still not within specifications, the prob-
lem is not caused by the throttle body.
(15) Shut off engine.
(16) Remove Air Metering Fitting 6457 from the
intake manifold PCV nipple. Reinstall the PCV valve
hose.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONÐ2.5L DIESEL
Certain components of the fuel system on the 2.5L
diesel engine are controlled by the Bosch Engine con-
troller which is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Refer to Powertrain Control Module in the Fuel
Injection SystemÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this
group for a list of items controlled by the PCM. The
Body Control Module (BCM) is mounted to a bracket
located inside the vehicle under the dashpanel to the
left of the steering column (Fig. 1). The PCM is
mounted at the base of the center console in front of
the Air Bag Module. (Fig. 2).
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, fuel
injection pump (engine mounted), fuel filter/water
separator, fuel tank module, electrical fuel gauge
sending unit, glow plugs, glow plug relay, PCM, and
all the electrical components that control the fuel
system. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses and
fittings, vacuum hoses, and fuel injector(s).
AFuel Return System.A separate fuel return
system is used. This will route excess fuel: from the
fuel injectors; through individual injector drain
tubes; through the fuel injection pump overflow
valve; and back to the fuel tank through a separate
fuel line.TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, two pressure relief/rollover valves, fuel filler
tube, fuel tank module containing a fuel gauge send-
ing unit, and a pressure-vacuum filler cap.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This Fuel Delivery section will cover components
not controlled by the PCM. For components con-
trolled by the PCM, refer to the Fuel Injection Sys-
temÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this group.
The fuel heater relay, fuel heater and fuel gauge
are not operated by the PCM. These components are
controlled by the ignition (key) switch. All other fuel
system electrical components necessary to operate
the engine are controlled or regulated by the PCM.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE WARNING
WARNING: HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 45,000 KPA (6526 PSI).
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FORHIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD (Fig. 1). HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank and tank mounting used with the
diesel powered engine is the same as used with gas-
oline powered models, although the fuel tank module
is different.
The fuel tank contains the fuel tank module and
two rollover valves. Two fuel lines are routed to the
fuel tank module. One line is used for fuel supply to
the fuel filter/water separator. The other is used to
return excess fuel back to the fuel tank.
The fuel tank module contains the fuel gauge elec-
trical sending unit.An electrical fuel pump is not
used with the diesel engine.
NS/GSFUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINE 14 - 3

FUEL TANK MODULE
An electric fuel pump is not attached to the fuel
tank module for diesel powered engines. Fuel is sup-
plied by the fuel injection pump.
The fuel tank module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank (Fig. 2). The fuel tank module contains the
following components:
²Fuel reservoir
²A separate in-tank fuel filter
²Electric fuel gauge sending unit
²Fuel supply line connection
²Fuel return line connection
FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the side
of the fuel pump module. The sending unit consists of
a float, an arm, and a variable resistor (track). The
track is used to send an electrical signal used for fuel
gauge operation.
As the fuel level increases, the float and arm move
up. This decreases the sending unit resistance, caus-
ing the fuel gauge on the instrument panel to read
full. As the fuel level decreases, the float and arm
move down. This increases the sending unit resis-
tance, causing the fuel gauge on the instrument
panel to read empty.
FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
The fuel filter/water separator assembly is located
in the engine compartment near the strut tower (Fig.
3).
The combination fuel filter/water separator pro-
tects the fuel injection pump by helping to remove
water and contaminants from the fuel. Moisture col-
lects at the bottom of the filter/separator in a plastic
bowl.
The fuel filter/water separator assembly contains
the fuel filter, fuel heater element, and fuel drain
valve.
For information on the fuel heater, refer to Fuel
Heater in this group.
Refer to the maintenance schedules in Group 0 in
this manual for the recommended fuel filter replace-
ment intervals.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

For periodic draining of water from the bowl, refer
to Fuel Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation
in this group.
FUEL SHUTDOWN SOLENOID
The fuel shutdown solenoid is controlled and
operated by the PCM.
The fuel shutdown (shut-off) solenoid is used to
electrically shut off the diesel fuel supply to the high-
pressure fuel injection pump. The solenoid is
mounted to the rear of the injection pump (Fig. 4).
The solenoid controls starting and stopping of the
engine regardless of the position of the accelerator
pedal. When the ignition (key) switch is OFF, the
solenoid is shut off and fuel flow is not allowed to the
fuel injection pump. When the key is placed in the
ON or START positions, fuel supply is allowed at the
injection pump.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP
The fuel injection pump is a mechanical distribu-
tor±type, Bosch VP36 series (Fig. 5). A gear on the
end of the injection pump shaft meshes with the
drive gear at the front of engine. The pump is
mechanically timed, relative to the position of the
cam and crankshaft. The PCM can make adjust-
ments to the timing of the injection pump.
The injection pump contains the fuel shutdown
solenoid, fuel temperature sensor, control sleeve sen-
sor, fuel quantity actuator and the fuel timing sole-
noid (Fig. 5).In the electronically controlled injection pump, the
pump plunger works the same as the pump plunger
in a mechanically controlled injection pump, but the
amount of fuel and the time the fuel is injected is
controlled by the vehicle's PCM, instead of by a
mechanical governor assembly. A solenoid controlled
by the PCM is used in place of the mechanical gov-
ernor assembly, and it moves a control sleeve inside
the pump that regulates the amount of fuel being
injected. There is no mechanical connection between
the accelerator pedal and the electronically controlled
injection pump. Instead, a sensor connected to the
accelerator pedal sends a signal to the PCM that rep-
resents the actual position of the accelerator pedal.
The PCM uses this input, along with input from
other sensors to move the control sleeve to deliver
the appropriate amount of fuel. This system is known
as ªDrive-By-Wireº
The actual time that the fuel is delivered is very
important to the diesel combustion process. The PCM
monitors outputs from the engine speed sensor (fly-
wheel position in degrees), and the fuel injector sen-
sor (mechanical movement within the #1 cylinder
fuel injector). Outputs from the Accelerator Pedal
Position sensor, engine speed sensor (engine rpm)
and engine coolant temperature sensor are also used.
The PCM will then compare its set values to these
outputs to electrically adjust the amount of fuel tim-
ing (amount of advance) within the injection pump.
This is referred to as ªClosed Loopº operation. The
PCM monitors fuel timing by comparing its set value
to when the injector #1 opens. If the value is greater
than a preset value a fault will be set.
